Disliked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Not what I was hopping for
Check in: I didn’t receive an email prior to my arrival so I needed to contact the host. He gave a description of the building and how to get there from a boat. It’s likely he was thinking I was arriving via the ferry, but I was already on the island and had said so in my communication with him. It was several exchanges before I was able to gather enough information to tell a taxi driver.
Check in:The host let me leave my luggage in the room while it was being cleaned and moved me to a different room with a better view.
I sat and cooled off for a bit while the person cleaned the room. She was very nice and friendly. I saw her clean the place. I was surprised to find that my feet were covered in dirt from walking around the room barefoot.
It was furnished nicely enough; a table with chairs, a couch and chair, and 2 beds. There were books on the shelves and it had a cozy feel to it. However the kitchen had no pots or pans.It had been listed as being fully equipped. It was not.
It was hot and midday, so I rested before going out. There were 4 pillows on the bed in pillow shams. When I took the shams off there were no pillow cases on the actual pillows.
I used my beach wrap to cover the pillows and laid down for a rest. I knew that I smelled something strange but couldn’t place it as I rested and woke up with a headache. It was natural gas. I booked a new place and alerted the host. He said it wasn’t a leak.
Location: it’s across the street from a beach - nice but loud.
